Weather Underground - Communiqué #2 lyrics

SLIP NR 12 / 1909 / JUNE9-70 / POLICE HDQTRS / 77 BOMB EXPLOSION-240 CENTRE ST-POLICE HDQTRS-UNK DAMAGE AND INJURIES AT THIS TIME — DETAILS LATER Tonight, at 7 P.M., we blew up the N.Y.C. police headquarters. We called in a warning before the explosion. The pigs in this country are our enemies. They have murdered Fred Hampton and tortured Joan Bird. They are responsible for 6 black d**hs in Augusta, 4 murders in Kent State, the imprisonment of Los Siete de la Raza in San Francisco and the continual brutality against Latin and white youth on the Lower East Side. Some are named Mitchell and Agnew. Others call themselves Leary and Hogan. The names are different but the crimes are the same. The pigs try to look invulnerable, but we keep finding their weaknesses. Thousands of kids, from Berkeley to the UN Plaza, keep tearing up ROTC buildings. Nixon invades Cambodia and hundreds of schools are shut down by strikes. Every time the pigs think they've stopped us, we come back a little stronger and a lot smarter. They guard their buildings and we walk right past their guards. They look for us—we get to them first. They build the Bank of America, kids burn it down. They outlaw gra**, we build a culture of life and music. The time is now. Political power grows out of a gun, a Molotov, a riot, a commune … and from the soul of the people. WEATHERMAN
